While his Stargate-produced lead single "Closer" continues to clime the charts (#17 on Billboard 100 after #27 last week), Ne-Yo prepares his second single "Miss Independent" to hit the airwaves on August 7th. While not as instantly infectious as his first single, his new song shows radio potential and is growing on me the more I listen to it. Year of the Gentleman is slated to hit stores August 5th, and reflects Ne-Yo's desire to show the more mature side of R&B. With guest appearances from Jay-Z, Rihanna, T.I., Nas, Patrick Stump, Lil Wayne, and Leona Lewis- and production from the likes of Stargate, Tricky Stewart, Kanye West, Timbaland, and J.R. Rotem- Ne-Yo is on track to deliver a very strong album among a current R&B climate centered around ringtones and Autotune.
